Capability

The product of more than 20 years of
continuous development, ASAP is able to simulate the physics of more
optical systems than any other program available. ASAP unites
geometrical and physical optics with full 3D models of optical and
mechanical systems. Built-in graphical tools allow visualization of odel
geometry, ray-trace details, and results analysis. ASAP handles it all,
including scattering, diffraction, reflection, refraction, absorption,
polarization, and Gaussian beam propagation.

Flexibility

ASAP is now interoperable with many CAD
programs. ASAP can be configured to open native CAA V5 CATIA® files from
the program by Dassault Systemes, to write ASAP-specific GTX files from
within SolidWorks®, the program by SolidWorks Corp., to write
ASAP-specific IGES files from within Rhinoceros®, the program by McNeel
& Associates, and to import IGES files from other CAD programs —
numerous options for accurate, seamless geometry transitions into ASAP.

ASAP is also able to import (and export)
complex vector field distributions from the finite-difference,
time-domain code FDTD Solutions™, by Lumerical. Together, ASAP and FDTD
Solutions are able to handle both macroscopic optical systems and
microstructures in an elegant manner. No other software combination
spans such a large optical space.

Speed

The speed-optimized ASAP non-sequential
ray-tracing engine is the fastest available, and without the
accuracy-compromising surface approximations of other programs. Model
almost any conceivable geometry in a single working model, and analyze
the behavior of your system in hours instead of weeks.

Accuracy

Optical system designers in 35 countries
rely on ASAP for virtual prototyping with great accuracy and confidence.
ASAP will model the finest details, which means you can depend on your
simulation results to mirror real-world performance.

ASAP Benefits

With ASAP, you get the most sophisticated software program available
for creating optical solutions in-house — everything you need to create
without compromise and reduce your product development timeline.
